connecticut has a very strong set of gun laws. an assault weapons ban that ironically did not cover the weapon used in this case apparently. they tried to limit the high capacity clips and faced tremendous pressure. they weren't able to do that. but they still have tough laws. how do you change the dynamic? you say that this does change it automatically. >> the first thing, david, is having tough laws is one thing. enforcing those laws is something different. legislators' jobs is to come up with jobs, come up with agreements, get everybody into a room, form a bipartisan coalition, get everybody something. most of them get the -- the majority get the most of it. an executive's job is to make a decision. take the law and go out and apply it given the intent of the law. and that's exactly what we do in new york city. the fact that we have the lowest murder rate of any big city in the country says we know what we're doing. and we have it every year. we have had a reduction in murder rate virtually every single year for the last 20 yea

where, unfortunately, we failed those young kids in connecticut. so we need to be thinking about this next group of kids, the 32 of us who are going to be murdered the tomorrow by somebody with a gun, and how can we prevent those tragedies? and that's dealing with things like requiring background checks on all gun sales. 40% of all gun sales in this country, in a given year, don't go through a background check. that's insane. when i learned that, i couldn't believe that. and i spoke out about it. and that's something that is just low-hanging fruit, common sense, across the board, supported by gun owners and nongun owners. that's something we need to get done. i think we also need to look at limiting the type of military weapons we sell to the general public. there is no place in our society for those weapons that we see used here in connecticut and what we just saw in colorado. i mean, those are weapons made for active war zones. those should not be used in our schools and on our streets and in our movie theaters. so, really, i think those are two
